Development and Evaluation of a Case-Based Serious Game for Diagnosis and Treatment Planning in Orthodontic Education: Quasi-Experimental Study.

ABSTRACT: Orthodontic education requires effective training in diagnosis and treatment planning, but traditional teaching methods may lack engagement and opportunities in offering a safe learning environment. Serious games are gaining momentum in dental education due to their positive educational impact in enhancing learner knowledge and motivation. However, their application in orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning training remains unexplored. The aim of this study was to develop and evaluate a simulation-based serious game for training orthodontic diagnosis and treatment planning in virtual patients (OrthoVirt), examining its impact on student knowledge and satisfaction. This study also explored whether prior gaming experience influenced learning outcomes. A quasi-experimental study was con
